Join Amanda Henderson and Todd Legler from Micron to learn about LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 tech and trends.  Amanda manages Micron’s Embedded Business Unit covering LPDDR4, LPDDR5, and upcoming LPDDR6. She'll go over DRAM market trends related to automotive,  industrial medical multi-use (IMM), and consumer adoption.   Todd is a Sr. Application Engineer supporting LPDDR4 and Multi-Chip Package memories, driving application strategies for Micron's Embedded Business Unit.   He'll walk you through LPDDR4 basic functions such as commands, truth tables, flexible access with dual channel, burst length frequency, On the Fly Frequency Switching, and LVSTL (Low Voltage Swing Terminated Logic).  You'll learn the fundamentals of memory selection such as key questions to ask, what are your application specific needs, how to make high performance DRAM comparisons.   You'll also learn how LPPDR4 is used in SBCs such as the Raspberry Pi 4 8GB and to enhance your automotive experience through your heads-up display, infotainment, and immersive, software defined cockpit.  Finally, you'll learn about Micron's LPDDR5/LPDDR5x; the difference between LPDDR5 and LPDDR4x; and LPDDR5 embedded application adoption in automotive (autonomous vehicles, advanced driver-assisted systems, safety features, in-vehicle infotainment), industrial (complex AI/AR/VR workloads, growing sensor data, intelligent edge devices, drones), and consumer products (Next-gen DSLR cameras, AI interactive commerce, untethered VR Drives, AR/VR medical rehabilitation).image

 

LPDDR4 was designed to increase memory speed in mobile computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, ultra-thin notebooks, and SBCs such as the Raspberry Pi.  The Raspberry Pi’s combination of performance, profile and price are made possible by their long relationship with Micron, whose memory solutions have been a key part of their products for years.   For Raspberry Pi4, Micron provides the memory supporting the 16Gb and 32Gb LPDDR4 and is — for a third generation of Pi – Raspberry Pi’s supplier of choice.   During this presentation you are encouraged to ask questions for a chance to win one of five Raspberry Pi 4s!
